EVERGREEN TREES 
The leaves are soft needles similar to those of Hemlock but usually a little 
wider and heavier; some of them longer. The colors range from bright to dark 
blackish green. Most varieties maintain this positive color year around, although 
a few take on attractive bronze hues. 
All Yews thrive in shade; all but one flourish in sun. While they survive in 
extremely poor soils they, of course, prefer a soil of decent fertility. They tolerate 
extreme ranges of moisture or the lack of it. All except the two Canada varieties 
aie impioved by moderate applications of Lime from time to time. 
The landscape uses of Yews are many. They are ideal in the foundation or 
other planting where small slow growing plants are vital. Yews are perfect 
facers to groups of large evergreens. They are perfect subjects for shearing and 
are the best plants from which to make topiary forms. Certain varieties make the 
best hedges of medium heights and one variety takes the place of Dwarf Box 
Edging in severe climates. Every home deserves the liberal use of Yews.
